Ingredients
Boil a large pot of salted water and cook the spaghetti until al dente. Drain and toss with a bit of olive oil to prevent sticking.
In a large skillet, cook chopped bacon over medium heat until crispy. Remove and drain on paper towels, reserving some bacon fat in the pan.
Add diced onion and minced garlic to the skillet. Sauté for 3 to 5 minutes until fragrant and translucent.
Add ground beef to the pan. Season with salt, pepper, and chili powder. Cook until browned, breaking it up with a spoon.
